The Breast Unit is composed of three surgeons and receives about 3,200 new cases per year. Every week 45 surgeries are performed. 60% of the registrations are operable breast cancers of which 70% are offered breast conservation surgery and approximately 5% also undergo breast reconstruction. Sentinel node biopsy is offered only within studies and not as standard care. 35% of our cases are locally advanced cancers all treated by mutimodality treatment. 30% are offered BCT after NACT. The Unit also has many research protocols in various trial phases. Investigator-generated trials are appreciated and are focused on various clinical settings of operable breast cancer adjuvant treatment, neo-adjuvant in locally advanced breast cancer and role of loco-regional treatment in primary metastatic breast cancer. There are also various Pharma supported Phase I, Phase II and Phase III trials evaluating recent advances in chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and targeted therapies. Translational research is ongoing at the associated Research Center-ACTREC (Advanced Centre for Treatment, Research and Education in Cancer) at New Bombay (Navi Mumbai).
